Take time before saying yes to really assess what is needed from you, and whether you are the best situated OR the person most likely to say yes.

You might find you're both, but that still doesn't mean you have to accept the offer if its not the right season for that level of engagement.

Often, when you present as a high energy extrovert, people vastly overestimate your capacity.

But the vibrancy, cheer, and drive applied to a project takes time to recharge between initiatives!

At my favorite coffee haunt, catching up with the barista and talking about holiday responsibilities, and he kindly reminds me that "no one is going to be selfish FOR me", which is a good lesson to remember

What is this "my turn" -- I had to WRESTLE a turkey* out of my mother's 70+ y.o. hands. And she still won't let any of us touch the stuffing.

*singular as she still makes the other bird, using the exact same B. Smith recipe I do. Still counting this as progress.

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.

Geoff Bennett has more.

The Sudden Panic That SCOTUS Might Overturn Marriage Equality Misses the Real Threat Kim Davisโ€™ case will not be the vehicle the court uses to eradicate the equal dignity of same-sex couples.

As I explained when Davis' lawyers filed this petition, there was virtually no chance that the Supreme Court would seriously consider her case. I doubt there are five votes to overturn Obergefellโ€”but if there were, this case does not present a clean vehicle for doing so. slate.com/news-and-pol...

As Condรฉ Nast Folds Teen Vogue Into Vogueโ€™s Website, NewsGuild Condemns the Plan The union, which reps staffers, says the move was "clearly designed" to blunt the journalism of the brand, which has leaned in to progressive politics.

About Teen Vogue,
I don't read or care much for a lot of mainstream media, but Teen Vogue is the only consistent non-Native media outlet that has always done an incredible job reporting on Native issues and giving our talent a platform to shine and not just to fill their "diversity" quota.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

3 years ago from the date of this screening. And then... nothing

Given how long it took to even get THIS off the ground, maybe my great-grandchildren are destined to see the reboot.

Can I walk to multiple barbershop in less than 15 minutes in Roxbury?

Yes.

Do I drive 20+ minutes every 2 weeks to my old neighborhood to see the fine fellows at Roslindale Barbershop, who have taken care of me for 8+ years?

Also yes.

Your life isnโ€™t over and you arenโ€™t a failure because things you expected to happen for you already HAVENโ€™T.

The reality is when it finally happens, youโ€™ll be better prepared to navigate/deal with it than if it had when you initially expected it.

Youโ€™ll only fight the dragon on a much higher level
